There are plenty of fun volunteer opportunities across LHNS committees and events! Our recent membership survey confirmed what we already knew—Larch Hills thrives because of its amazing, friendly community. And now… we’d love for you to be part of it! Explore the exciting high-level leadership roles available and see where you can make a difference.
Lantern Co-Lead
Are you organized, people-focused, and energized by community events? The Lantern Ski Co-Leader helps plan and coordinate one of Larch Hills’ most magical evenings of the year. In this role, you’ll work alongside another Lantern Co-Chair Kari Wilkinson to organize volunteer teams, create schedules, ensure tasks run smoothly, and keep everyone informed and supported. It’s a great fit for someone who enjoys bringing people together, managing details, and helping create an unforgettable experience for participants and volunteers alike.
A huge shout-out to Access Precision Machining for once again donating all of the kerosene to fill our lanterns!
Thank you to our amazing Lantern prep crew!
A huge thank you to the volunteers who came out and cleaned all 225 lanterns in October. As well as Don Miller for donating the wood and building 25 new lantern hangers – which the crew came back and painted in fun candy cane stripes!
